The CAF is group responsible for promoting athleticism in physically-challenge athletes... And they certainly do not mess around. Among the athletes at the event, for example, was a young swimmer--both of his legs removed beneat-the-knee--who is competing at the ParaOlympics in Beijing for fly and IM. Also in attendance was a remarkable young lady--the first woman with an above-the-knee amputation to complete the Ironman. Absolutely remarkable!
Anyway, the evening was great and really sparked an interest for me in the Foundation. I am now thinking of trying to do some work with the group. Oh, and the run was definitely amazing. Dave and Scott are just the friendliest guys and to spend a short jog with two of the best triathletes in history was incredible. Haha, and along the run whom did we pass? Lance Armstrong, who was out for a short run himself. Only in New York....
